Home Farm is a commanding Grade II listed farmhouse dating to 1795, set within about 1.68 acres of formal lawns, cobbled courtyards and mature trees. The heart of the house is an impressive country kitchen with a large central island and stone countertops, complemented by multiple reception rooms and a sweeping staircase that speaks to the property’s Georgian provenance. A separate two‑bed annexe (Gamekeeper Lodge) with an orangery and private roof terrace adds flexibility for guests, multigenerational living or holiday rental income.
The grounds and outbuildings are a major asset: a long gravel driveway behind electric gates leads to a tucked-away triple garage and additional outbuildings, plus a summer house and secluded office. The plot’s scale and landscaped rooms of garden create private outdoor living that couples classic formality with moments of whimsy — cobbled areas, a circular thatched larder and a willow‑shaded terrace lend strong character and eventful planting.
Practical considerations are clear and factual. The house is listed which will constrain changes and may complicate maintenance or modernisation; the property uses oil central heating and discharges to a septic tank. There is a thatched element and historic fabric throughout that will require specialist upkeep and periodic repair. Council tax is high (Band F for the main house), and listed‑status consent will be required for many works.
This home will suit buyers seeking a substantial, characterful country residence near Oakham — families wanting space and school options close by, or buyers who value historic architecture and are prepared for the responsibilities of maintaining a listed rural estate. It offers strong entertaining rooms, versatile accommodation and a significant garden, balanced by the ongoing obligations associated with an historic, thatched, listed property.
